Yuriko Takagi came back to her senses and once again invited everyone into the house.
Since the city might not be safe and the surrounding areas were no longer stable, she planned to pack up and leave.
So Saya Takagi cooperated with her mother, starting to pack necessary items into suitcases.
Midway, Asuna, who had come to the Takagi's house, observed with curiosity.
There were too many novel things in her sight, which made her quite intrigued.
Although Orario had 'magic stone household items' similar to lamps, refrigerators, and heaters, there were no televisions that played programs.
And there was a television in the living room that Yuriko Takagi had turned on.
News was playing on it, but due to the internet being down, it was all recorded footage.
Watching the figures move on the screen, Asuna reached out to touch it.
It had some warmth, which piqued her interest.
"Amazing thing."
Asuna finished speaking, circled the television against the wall for half a turn, and even squatted down to examine the wiring behind it, as if studying some ancient ruin.
Her demeanor was completely different from when she was fighting earlier.
If before she was a Valkyrie, now she was a silent beauty with maxed-out curiosity.
At this moment, Saeko Busujima couldn't hold back and spoke up,
"Excuse me, Miss Asuna."
"Hmm?"
"Your swordsmanship, your power... how did you train it?"
"I've been participating in Familia's Dungeon adventures since I was little."
Dungeon, adventure.
Saeko Busujima regarded it as a rigorous training.
"Can I also go adventuring in that place?"
"You...?"
"Yes, I want to become stronger. It would be great if I could become as strong as Miss Asuna."
Currently, Saeko Busujima felt she couldn't even protect herself.
Especially when facing more Corpses.
Not to mention fighting multiple armed thugs like Asuna did.
Chen Hai, who heard their conversation and was curious about Asuna's answer, saw a glass of water appear before him.
Sitting on the sofa, he looked to the side and saw Saya Takagi standing there.
"Please have some water, Mr. Chen Hai."
"Aren't you going to pack your luggage?"
"Mine is already done. Mother still has some documents, but I actually think those things aren't important anymore."
"It depends on the person."
Chen Hai took the glass of water and drank a sip.
"Where are Miss Marikawa and Miyamoto?"
"Teacher Marikawa and Classmate Miyamoto are in the restroom. To save time, they didn't shower, just wiped themselves with towels. They'll be out soon."
"What about you?"
"Me? Huh? Do I smell?"
Saya Takagi raised her right hand and sniffed, but there was no strange odor.
After all, besides the previous escape, she hadn't really exercised much.
At this moment, Asuna faced Saeko Busujima and gave her considered answer.
"If you have the determination to become stronger, then training in the Dungeon will definitely be fine. It's just that your starting point is very low, so you need to proceed gradually."
"I see... What kind of place is the Dungeon?"
"Mr. Chen Hai's residence, a world entirely under his control."
At Asuna's words, Saeko Busujima's gaze shifted to Chen Hai.
The girl, eager to become stronger, seeking battle, and excited by slaughter, walked up to Chen Hai.
"Can I also become stronger in the Dungeon, Mr. Chen Hai?"
"The Dungeon will not reject anyone, provided they abide by the rules I set."
"I will definitely abide by them!"
To become stronger, Saeko Busujima agreed directly without asking for further clarification.
Chen Hai guessed that Asuna's astonishing performance had shocked Saeko Busujima, causing the girl to be so excited.
But one cannot rush things.
"If you really want to go to the Dungeon, I can arrange it."
"Thank you very much."
Saeko Busujima felt she had been overly excited, so after regaining her composure, she thanked him softly with the demeanor of a Yamato Nadeshiko.
Saya Takagi, who had watched the entire exchange, was very surprised.
She had heard various 'legends' about Saeko Busujima at school and had expected a friendly young lady, but what was the reality?
She felt like a battle fanatic seeking thrills.
Saya Takagi did not voice these thoughts but looked behind her.
Footsteps came from the second-floor staircase; Shizuka Marikawa and Rei Miyamoto, who had finished wiping themselves with towels, came down.
Following them was Yuriko Takagi, carrying a large suitcase.
"Let's go."
Yuriko Takagi looked at her daughter, deciding to act now.
But before leaving, she asked everyone,
"What are everyone's plans?"
"I plan to go to Mr. Chen Hai's 'Dungeon'."
"Dungeon? What is that? An underground shelter?"
"I don't know."
"..."
Saeko Busujima's answer left Yuriko Takagi bewildered.
At this point, Saya Takagi asked her mother,
"Where are we going again?"
"Us... Our current plan is to go to the airport, then fly out of this country; although before the signal went out, I saw 'Living Dead' crises erupting all over the world, there must be safe places."
"What if the city we land in isn't safe either?"
This was Saya Takagi's concern.
Rei Miyamoto felt the same.
"I'm afraid the whole world is in chaos."
"Well~ it seems our country hasn't even sent out evacuation notices yet, the situation must be many times more serious than imagined."
Shizuka Marikawa cupped her cheeks, analyzing with a troubled expression.
As the girls grew uneasy, Asuna, holding a watermelon-shaped alarm clock she found from who knows where, stepped forward.
"If we compare it to the current situation of this world, is there a possibility... that Orario is safer? At least, that's what I think."
"Safe Orario? Where is it?"
"The back mountain of the school where we came from, you can go to Orario from there."
"Completely incomprehensible..."
Yuriko Takagi was bewildered again.
Chen Hai added an explanation for this.
"Just think of it as another world."
"Another world!?"
Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi's eyes widened.
Chen Hai smiled and raised his right hand, the dancing flames on his fingertips illuminating the girls' cheeks.
"If it weren't from another plane, do you think we would possess such special powers?"
"Not only the 'Living Dead' virus that turns humans into monsters, but also another world..."
Shizuka Marikawa finished speaking and immediately grabbed Chen Hai's outstretched right hand.
The flames did not burn the teacher.
She said excitedly,
"I want to go see it!"
"I, I do too...!"
Rather than staying in this world, Rei Miyamoto preferred to stay in a safe place.
Facing this scene, Saya Takagi also turned to her mother.
"Us too..."
"If Mr. Chen Hai and Asuna don't mind, please let us come along as well."
After hearing the mind-boggling facts, the girls, the teacher, and the mother gathered here all wanted to see 'Orario'.
